ONE NIGHT ONLY AT DENDY CINEMAS

SYNOPSIS:

See the on-stage adaptation of Corrie Ten Boom’s THE HIDING PLACE on the Big Screen.

World War II. Darkness has fallen over Europe, and the boots of the Third Reich echo through the streets. But on a quiet city corner in the Netherlands, some choose to resist. Corrie Ten Boom and her family risk everything to hide Jewish refugees by the hundreds, and they ultimately face the consequences when they are discovered.

The Hiding Place is their story—a story of faith, hope, love, and forgiveness in the face of unthinkable evil. This powerful cinematic presentation was adapted for the stage by A. S. Peterson, directed for the stage by Matt Logan, and filmed for cinema audiences in Nashville, Tennessee.

ONLY IN CINEMAS AUGUST 10

SYNOPSIS:

Based on a single chilling chapter from Bram Stoker’s classic novel, DRACULA: VOYAGE OF THE DEMETER tells the terrifying story of the merchant ship Demeter, which was chartered to carry private cargo—fifty unmarked wooden crates—from Carpathia to London. 

Strange events befall the doomed crew as they attempt to survive the ocean voyage, stalked each night by a merciless presence onboard the ship. When the Demeter finally arrives off the shores of England, it is a charred, derelict wreck. There is no trace of the crew.  

The film stars Corey Hawkins (In the Heights, Straight Outta Compton) as Clemens, a doctor who joins the Demeter crew, Aisling Franciosi (Game of Thrones, The Nightingale) as an unwitting stowaway, Liam Cunningham (Game of Thrones, Clash of the Titans) as the ship’s captain and David Dastmalchian (Dune, the Ant-Man franchise) as the Demeter’s first mate. The film also features Jon Jon Briones (Ratched, American Horror Story), Stefan Kapicic (Deadpool films, Better Call Saul), Nikolai Nikolaeff (Stranger Things, Bruised) and Javier Botet (It films, Mama).

ONLY IN CINEMAS JULY 27

SYNOPSIS:

Vengeance is golden in the relentlessly brutal and blood-drenched new action thriller SISU.

From the studio that brought you John Wick, SISU is centred on one Finnish man’s rampaging quest for vengeance against an endless parade of Nazis during the last desperate days of WWII. The solitary gold prospector crosses paths with Nazis who steal his gold, however they quickly discover that they have just tangled with no ordinary miner.

While there is no direct translation for the Finnish word “SISU”, this legendary ex-commando will embody what SISU means: a white-knuckled form of courage and unimaginable determination in the face of overwhelming odds.

The stories of these women reminds us that we are only as strong as the friends and family who stand by us.” Jarod Neece, Tribecca Film Festival

Ballyfermot, Ireland, 1960. A hard-knocks community in outer Dublin marches to its own beat, rooted in traditions of loyalty, faith and togetherness. There’s just one tantalising dream for the women of Ballyfermot to taste freedom and escape the gauntlet of domestic life: to win a pilgrimage to the sacred French town of Lourdes. And with a little benevolent interference from their cheeky and rebellious priest, close friends Lily, Eileen, Dolly and Sheila are the ‘lucky’ few to win this ticket of a lifetime at their riotous local raffle night.
